When is a late fee assessed on my bursar account?

A Late Fee will be assessed for payments that are past due. The payment due date is the 1st of each month. We have a grace period until the 14th of the month (or last business day prior to the next eBill being published), at which time the Late Fee will be assessed at the rate of 1% on the amount that is due and unpaid.

Will I be able to view previous eBills?

There is no need to request a refund check for a credit balance that appears on your bursar account. The Bursar's Office performs a refund process each week. Xavier has partnered with BankMobile to manage the refund process. All registered students will be sent a bright green envelope from BankMobile. By following the instructions inside, each student should select the manner in which they want to receive their refund. Two options are available. If no option is selected and a student has a credit balance on their bursar account, a paper check will be mailed to the address on file after 21 days. Students cannot pick up their refund check from the Bursar's Office.

This process is no longer available. However, every week, Xavier processes refunds for students who have overpayments/a credit balance on their bursar account.

What is the Health Insurance charge?

Health insurance is automatically charged to all full-time undergraduates' bursar accounts in the Fall semester.

If the student is unable to prove that they have health insurance, then the Xavier insurance will cover the student for the school year.

Does Xavier offer an Employer Reimbursement Plan with a deferred due date?

Due to a change in federal regulations regarding Truth-in-Lending, Xavier University is no longer offering the Employer Reimbursement Plan beginning with the Fall semester 2014. Students who have used this Plan in the past are encouraged to fund the first semester yourself through whatever means you have available. It might be financial aid, personal savings, financial gifts from relatives or any combination of the three or other means the student may have at their disposal. Then, once the student receives reimbursement from their employer after their first semester, they can use that money to pay for their second semester and keep using the employer reimbursement to pay for their subsequent semesters. The reimbursement the student would receive from their employer after their last semester would go to reimburse them for the initial investment they made at the beginning of their program.

What Payment Plans are available and do I have to enroll each semester?

What is the Student Activity Fee and Graduate Student Association Fee?

These fees are mandatory in that they are charged to every full-time and part-time undergraduate or graduate student whether or not they are on campus or studying abroad. Full-time undergraduate students will see the Student Activity fee detailed as a separate line item on their semester eBill. Part-time and full-time graduate students are assessed a Graduate Student Association Fee.

The Student Activity Fee which funds the Student Government Association (SGA) has historically been funded at 1% of undergraduate tuition. In the Fall Semester of 2010, the SGA worked with administration to develop a fee-based structure, which is the norm for funding Student Government Organizations across the nation. The fee was proposed by representatives from Xavier's SGA and agreed upon by the University Planning and Resourcing Council. While the fee is now clearly outlined in the cost of tuition, as a separate line item, the implementation of a fee-based structure does not add to the cost of attendance since a corresponding offset in tuition was made.

This fee will be used to fund all organizations under the SGA. This includes the Student Activities Council which organizes over 100 on- and off-campus opportunities for students annually, over 120 clubs, and 6 subordinate bodies (including Club Sports Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council and Resident Student Association). Other initiatives sponsored by the SGA include the free Legal Counsel for all enrolled students, a Campus Readership Program that provides free USA Today and New York Times, the Commuter Council, the Commuter Lounge in the Gallagher Student Center (GSC), and a computer kiosk for quick printing in the GSC.

The Student Activity Fee is charged to regular undergraduate students only in the Fall and Spring semesters. CAPS, Weekend Degree, Rad Tech and other non-degree students are assessed this fee. ESL, High School and Senior Citizen students are not assessed the Student Activity Fee.

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) represents the students of the various graduate programs in relation to any office or organization within or outside of the university, disseminates information to the graduate student community, provides support not available elsewhere to enhance the educational and professional development of its members, and improves the quality of life for graduate students at Xavier University. GSA needs to be funded in order to fulfill its mission and achieve its purpose. This fee will be used to provide graduate student focused academic experiences in order to supplement the Xavier University graduate student experience, host networking events to encourage cross-departmental collaboration and interaction, promote GSA to raise awareness, host various speakers of interest to graduate students, as well as to fulfill any other needs of the Xavier University graduate community. This fee will also indirectly help to maintain a body that will lobby, work, and advocate to address graduate student concerns and ensure that the needs of graduate student community are being considered by the University in all decisions and areas of operations.

What kind of payments can be applied to my payment plan?

Only direct payments can be applied to payment plans. Direct payments are defined as checks (personal or business), cash, credit card, and 529 plan payments that are sent to Xavier from the plan and aren't established as a contract account (3rd party billing account). Types of payments that cannot be applied to the payment plan include any type of financial aid (loans, outside scholarships, grants, awards, scholarships) and contract payments (3rd party billing accounts).

Why are the 5 payment plans for the Fall and Spring semesters changing to 4 payments and the 4 payment plan for the Summer semester changing to 3 payments?

In order to comply with federal regulations surrounding Truth-in-Lending disclosures, an updated X-Flex payment plan will be in place beginning with the Fall 2014 semester. It will include 4 payments per semester rather than the current 5 payments for the Fall semester, 5 payments for the Spring semester, and 3 payments for the Summer semester. Interest will no longer be charged on the last business day of the month. Instead, a Late Fee will be assessed on all late payments. The rate will remain at 1% (subject to change) and it will be calculated based on the amount that is due and unpaid. We are also changing our billing date and due date to accommodate this switch to a 4 payment plan. Beginning in July, we will publish eBills on or about the 15th of each month with the due date being the 1st of each month.

Why is the Employer Reimbursement Plan no longer available beginning with the Fall semester of 2014?

In order to comply with federal regulations surrounding Truth-in-Lending disclosures, the Employer Reimbursement Plan will no longer be an option beginning with the Fall 2014 semester. Students who have used this Plan in the past and aren't financially able to pay their balance in full, can enroll in the X-Flex Payment Plan. Students who do have educational reimbursement as an employee benefit from their employer can, if they so choose, fund their first semester through a variety of options i.e. government loans by filing the FAFSA, alternative loans, savings, etc. or any combination of these and other financial resources. Once they complete their first semester, they can use the reimbursement that they receive from their employer to pay for the next semester, and do it again for subsequent semesters until the final employer reimbursement is made, at which time those funds can go to pay off any loans that were taken out and/or replenish any savings that were depleted to fund the first semester. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the X-Flex Payment Plan by reviewing other answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

If the check is made payable to the student and to Xavier University, the student should endorse the check prior to sending it to the University. Be sure the student's name and student ID number are clearly indicated on the check.
